Manhood

‘I Robbie Morgan, whom despised and detested other idea of a ‘Men’s Group’ am writing this after three days my mind and attitude have totally changed 100%.

How’s Your Passion For Life? Take this quick test:

Do you feel that life is just passing you by?

Have you lost your passion – not springing out of bed in the morning?

Do you feel stuck, frustrated or lost?

Have you had a setback, fallen off the horse and not got back up and going again?

Do you ever feel empty, hollow or numb?

Do you feel alone?

Would you like to be closer to your partner, kids or friends?

Are you looking for a sense or purpose, so your life has meaning?

Do you feel there is more to you than you are showing to the world?

All of these are symptoms of a deeper issue:

The loss of connection to the core of WHO YOU ARE.

Like to get your mojo back?

What is Manhood about?

Manhood is an awesome experience that will rocket you to a deeper state of connection to your heart, your friends, loved ones, your purpose and your life.

It will empower you to feel more confident, live more boldly and be of highest service to the world.

The program assists men to develop Emotional Intelligence Skills to improve their lives: feel better, release stress, anxiety, frustration, deepen relationships, take greater control, work more effectively and move forward in life…

And help make the world a better place.

“Our emotions either get in the way of, or enhance our ability to think and plan, to pursue a goal, to solve problems. Therefore they define the limits of our capacity to use our mental abilities and determine how we do in life. And to the degree to which we are motivated by feelings of enthusiasm and pleasure in what we do – or even by an optimal level of anxiety – they propel us into accomplishment. It is in this sense that emotional intelligence is a master aptitude, a capacity that profoundly affects all other abilities, either facilitating or interfering with them.” Daniel Goleman, Author ‘Emotional Intelligence’

The 5 Steps on the Journey to Manhood:

1. Gain Clarity:
Discover a deeper truer, stronger ‘you’: Understand what it means to be a man, who you are, what you stand for, what your purpose is, what’s been blocking you from living fully and boldly as a proud man2. Clear Your Emotional Blockages:
Release the burden of shame, guilt, resentment and destructive anger and fears and set yourself free to move forward in your life, strong and focused.3. Open Your Heart:
As you clear your blockages you connect in your heart and feel more peaceful, centred and alive: Access your inner knowing for better decisions, timing, and intuition.4. Be Congruent:
Take charge of your life by staying ‘true’. How to muster the courage to stay true to yourself and face difficult challenges. How to express yourself in healthy and productive ways. How to use your emotions to assist you in creating what you desire.5. Stay on your edge:
Commitment to living: The skills you have developed empower you to be all you can be. Receiving and responding to others in caring and honouring ways. Being of service to make the world a better place.
